Recipe Tested 8ga with Gualandi wad

[Craig Larter]

Stan: Tom Armbrust suggested the fiber wad. He said on ignition the fiber wad would compress allowing some of the shot to be protected by the wad shot cup and lower the pressure by 1000psi. It did both.
This load is just a back-up load in case Remington SP-8's are not available to reloaders in the future.

Is the fiber wad filling the bottom of the shot-cup or underneath the plastic wad?

Correct me if I’m incorrect , but seems to me some yahoo at what’s known as Remington Components pretty much said they had no plans to restart manufacture of SP-8 wads . Now I’d be more than happy if that were incorrect .
